Tarrifs and massive spending are holding back growth.

But good to see MAGA cares about GDP again

We can’t expect Trump to reach the dizzying heights of Joe Biden.

Will you be around to trash us?

It’s gotta be a real bitch to be Jerome Powell and have to go out there every month and say 2 + 2 = 4 and have mobs of people scream at you that actually 2 + 2 = Potato because the President said so.

MAGA tells us simultaneously that the economy is roaring and that we must cut rates immediately to juice the economy

I sure do love driving manufacturing in key industries by making it more expensive to do so.
